Quinta do Estreito

Former high class hotel, with a renovation process ongoing, with a good view and easy parking space (also an underground parking is available). A big supermarket is close by, with also a bar inside. Breakfast is quite good, only the coffee/cappuccino etc are not very good ( from an automatic machine).

We stayed for a week in Hotel Quinta. Of course it's a bit out dated but you get good quality and value for money. The room is good and clean. The bed sure is fine and a good size. We had a little fridge in the room. Nice view from our balcony. Breakfast is what you expect and more. Fresh fruit every morning (banana pineapple, melon, watermelon, orange). A selection of scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon and sausage. Yoghurt, croissants, sweets, cake and applepie. Tomato, cucumber and salad. Every day the cook prepared something extra. Top that off with a very friendly staff, clean pool and that made that we had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The heart of Funchal at a 15 minutes drive is perfect if you don't want to stay in the busy centre of the city.

Fantastic place if you like a vintage feel with everything you need. Great sized pool and sunbathing area on the top terrace, two saunas (one male and female), you get pool towels too. There's a pool bar open all day and a restaurant open in the evenings (you need to book). Really large sized rooms and large beds, all with balconies and sea and garden views. Rooms serviced everyday and you get bath gels, shampoos and body cream etc, safety box in room, parking onsite infront of the hotel or in the underground car park, lovely surrounding gardens. The breakfast is great, the chef made a special plate of hot food as I was vegan. Brilliant location with lots of nearby local restaurants and bars, there's a fantastic new wine and tapas bar round the corner and woodfired pizza at the bottom of the garden - the reception team are really helpful and give you a map of all the neighbouring places. There's a huge supermarket across the road too. We absolutely loved it here and can't recommend it enough.

I found this to be a very charming and unique accommodation! All the rooms have an ocean view and are decent in size. The weather wasn't great during our stay, but otherwise the pool area would have been a vibe. There is also a big garden area that was nice to walk around, even if rather unkempt. I found the reception staff exceptionally friendly and helpful :) There is a big supermarket just across the street and several good restaurant options nearby. We could only imagine this place in its former glory!

Our stay was excellent from the moment we arrived at the hotel thanks to the superfriendly receptionist Ana, who was extremely helpful and always smiling- thank you so much, you are doing an amazing job:) Our room was everything we could wish for, it was very spacious, with a balcony and garden view, large, comfortable bed, massive wardrobe. The bathroom was big and fully equipped, daily cleaning service was provided. A very important thing was that we could relax in complete comfort and peace after an intensive day trekking as the hotel was very quiet and in an excellent location-you couldn't hear anything from the corridor or surrounding rooms. Parking is very convenient, there are parking spaces directly outside and also in the underground carpark. It was also very handy to have a big supermarket close to the hotel. The hotel itself had a large garden full of beautiful flowers which smelt wonderful. Breakfast was another highlight with a very warm welcome from Tania who was always is a great mood and responded immediately to any requests. She was always happy to help and always managed to find time to speak to the customers. Food was very good and fresh with a great amount of choice from continental to English breakfast and fresh fruit daily, the restaurant itself had really pleasant surroundings with general seating inside and outside. Another highlight was a supercute cat Tadeo who comes to the restaurant at breakfast time just to say hello :) We were very pleased with our stay and fully intend to come back :) Thank you :)
